The publication wrote to palace officials in July to ask if she would accept its Oldie of the Year award, which was previously given to her late husband and her own mother.
But in a reply dated August 21 from her Balmoral estate in northeast Scotland, the monarch’s assistant private secretary, Tom Laing-Baker, made his boss’ apologies.
“Her Majesty believes you are as old as you feel, as such The Queen does not believe she meets the relevant criteria to be able to accept and hopes you will find a more worthy recipient,” he added.
The tongue-in-cheek award, which celebrates the achievements of older people, went to the French-American actress and dancer Leslie Caron — who is 90.
The Queen succeeded her father King George VI in 1952 and next year celebrates her Platinum Jubilee to mark 70 years on the throne but she has played down her longevity.
When she became Britain’s longest-reigning monarch in September 2015, she treated the day like any other, opening a new railway in the Scottish border region with England.
“Inevitably, a long life can pass many milestones; my own is no exception,” she said at the time.
Despite her husband Prince Philip’s death in April aged 99, and her advanced age, the Queen has not retired from public life and maintains a regular diary of audiences and appearances.

The guests and dignitaries have arrived London for the final rites of the UK monarch, who passed away on Thursday, September 8 at the age of 96.
The Queen’s death has literally brought the UK to a standstill as the funeral rites have dominated activities in the country and beyond in honour of the Queen, who reigned for 70 years, the longest so far in the history of the British Monarchy.
US President, Joe Biden and First Lady Jill on Sunday paid their respects to the Queen at Westminster Hall.
Earlier UKraine First Lady Olena Zelenky was seen paying respect to the Queen.
The Nigerian Delegation is led by Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, who is
representing President Muhammadu Buhari, who is in the United States for the United Nations General Assembly.
Canadian Prime Minister Justine Traudaeu, the Emperor of Japan, Naruhito and Empress Masato among others have also confirmed their attendance.
Meanwhile London police chiefs and medics are bracing up for a security nightmare at the Queen’s funeral as they balance the need to protect the world’s top leaders and dignitaries with the public’s desire to mourn their much-loved monarch.
Some have compared the event in scale to the London Olympics, but in truth the state funeral, the first in Britain since Winston Churchill died in 1965, is likely to dwarf the 2012 sporting extravaganza.

Rangers medical team have not yet provided the exact number of days the youngster will spend in the treatment room after picking a head injury in their last encounter against Livingston which they won 1-0 in the Scottish Premier league.
Gerrard was quoted as saying by Rangers official website that Aribo absence will have a negative impact on his side.
”I am sure the doctor will decide in the coming days how many that will be, but he certainly won’t be available for the weekend and it could have an impact on the Europa League, next week’s fixtures and maybe international too as it is right in the centre of his forehead,
”So, I suppose it will depend on what type of protection in the coming weeks we can get to him and how comfortable he is as it is in a real, awkward spot.” Gerrard said.
Despite uncertainty surrounding his fitness level, Aribo was handed a spot by Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr in the 23-man provisional roster released by the Nigeria Football Federation on Thursday for the October 13th international friendly against Brazil in Singapore.
